Quick Notes about Lotus Notes/Domino 8

IBM/Lotus decided to drop support for old operating system, that included MS Windows 2000 server and RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.

That really surprise me because as my knowledge that there are still many small and medium size company that use those operating system. Do they need to upgrade the OS so they can upgrade to the Lotus Domino 8?

These is the list of unsupported Operating System

Windows 2000

AIX 5.2

Solaris 9

SLES 8,9

RHEL 4

iSeries 800-2463

eServer i5 520-0900

i5/OS V5R3

z/OS version 1 release 5

If you still run Lotus Domino 6.xx or 7.xx in those OS, prepare to upgrade.

Lotus Notes standard and basic edition

For Lotus Notes client, IBM/Lotus release two version of Lotus Notes client.

New Contacts (I like now that we can add picture in it), and will display in preview pane

Message Recall, this is the new feature that I don’t like. I believe that people must think twice before they sent any emails, no Message Recall. First think I do after I upgrade to Lotus Notes/Domino 8 is to disable Message Recall.

That is my first quick notes about the new Lotus Notes/Domino 8.

I believe that upgrade to Lotus Notes/Domino 8 is an important upgrade, there are just so many good new features, it’s worth it.

If you already upgrade your lotus notes/domino into version 8, please share your opinions with me. I’m not yet upgrade it, but very soon.
